2009 Aston Martin DB9 Warranty

The 2009 DB9 features a three-year/unlimited-mile warranty.

"There's also the sense that, in this world of robots and just-in-time manufacturing, the DB9 is a handbuilt car. You get the feeling a lot of white-coated technicians and artisans fussed over it to make it special for the buyer." -- Motor Trend

"In the past, a plaque on the doorsill of an Aston Martin that advertised 'Handbuilt in England' would have been a warning. But now that Aston has moved from its traditional home in Newport Pagnell to its high-tech factory at Gaydon in the English Midlands, persistent quality problems have been left behind. The renowned sports-car maker has made a remarkable transition from hopeless cottage industry to high-tech, top-class niche manufacturer." -- Automobile Magazine
